System::HAStatus::Feature

Introduced : BIG-IP_v11.0.0
High availability feature. Each high availability feature represents a failure state. The documentation for each feature also includes a description of the feature key (if any) and client data (ditto).

Value

Description

FEATURE_ASM_CONFIGURATION

0

The ASM configuration failed. This feature is only active on a clustered system. This feature is controlled by the AsmConfFailure.Enabled, AsmConfFailure.HAAction.Primary, and AsmConfFailure.HAAction.Secondary BIGdb variables.

FEATURE_CLUSTER_MEMBER

1

A specified cluster member has been disabled by a user. This feature is only active on a clustered system. The feature key is the name of the cluster member.

FEATURE_CLUSTER_MIN_UP_MEMBERS

2

The specified cluster lacks a sufficent number of members marked as “up”. This feature is only active on a clustered system. The feature key is the name of the cluster. The client data is the required number of members marked “up”. This feature is controlled by the set_minimum_up_member_enabled_state and set_minimum_up_member methods in the System/Cluster interface.

FEATURE_CLUSTER_TIME_SYNC

3

The system time is not synchronized across all members of a specified cluster. This feature is only active on a clustered system. The feature key is the name of the cluster.

FEATURE_DAEMON

4

The specified daemon is not running or has restarted. The system checks liveliness by sending a zero signal and by checking for a change in a daemon’s process identifier. The feature key is the name of the daemon.

FEATURE_DAEMON_HEARTBEAT

5

The specified daemon is not maintaining its heartbeat. The feature key is the name of the daemon. The client data is the current heartbeat value, which is a simple counter maintained by the specified daemon.

FEATURE_FIPS

6

The FIPS hardware has detected certain classes of error. In order to conform to FIPS requirements, these errors require a device reset. Until that happens, the FIPS hardware returns errors on all cryptographic requests. When TMM detects these errors, it uses this feature to trigger the action to reset the device.

FEATURE_FORCED_OFFLINE

7

The system has been forced offline by the user.

FEATURE_GROUP_SCORE

8

The high availability group score on the current system is lower than its peer’s score. The feature key is the name of the high availability group. The client data is the current system’s group score.

FEATURE_HARDWARE_FAILOVER

9

State of the hardware (serial cable) failover peer This is purely informational, as it does not trigger an action. The client data indicates whether the peer is active (1) or in standby or down (0).

FEATURE_HSB

10

Either the send or receive paths are failing on an HSB interface. This is only active on an HSB platform, such as 3900, 6900, 8900, etc.

FEATURE_LICENSE

11

The license is not operational. This is purely informational, as it does not trigger an action. A “yes” in the “action required” field indicates that the license is not valid.

FEATURE_MPI

12

One of the local MPI connections between TMMs has failed. This usually indicates that at least one internal HSB interface has failed.

FEATURE_MYSQL

13

The MySQL daemon is failing to respond to an active probe. This feature is controlled by the MysqldFailure.Enabled, MysqldFailure.HAAction.Primary, and MysqldFailure.HAAction.Secondary BIGdb variables.

FEATURE_NETWORK_FAILOVER

14

State of the network failover peer This is purely informational, as it does not trigger an action. The client data is the state: 1 - dead or untalkative, 2 - offline, 5 - standby, 6 - non-redundant Active, 7 - Active-standby Active.

FEATURE_OVERDOG

15

Overdog control of the system watchdog This is purely informational, as it does not trigger an action.

FEATURE_PEER_GROUP_SCORE

16

The high availabilty group score on the peer system is higher than the current system’s score. This is purely informational, as it does not trigger an action. The feature key is the name of the high availability group. The client data is the group score on the peer system.

FEATURE_POOL_MIN_UP_MEMBERS

17

The specified pool lacks a sufficent number of members marked as “up”. The feature key is the name of the pool. The client data is the required number of pool members marked “up”. This feature is controlled by the set_minimum_up_member_enabled_state, set_minimum_up_member, and set_minimum_up_member_action methods in the LocalLB/Pool interface.

FEATURE_REBOOT

18

A user or daemon has requested a reboot.

FEATURE_SECONDARY_SOD

19

A secondary SOD is waiting for the primary SOD to become fully active. This feature is only active on a clustered system. No action is reported in the table, but it is always “go offline”.

FEATURE_SOD_CONFIGURATION

20

SOD lacks sufficient configuration information (usually the network failover address information) required for leaving the offline state.

FEATURE_SOFTWARE_UPDATE

21

The software process has either finished updating a software volume or changed the active software volume.

FEATURE_SWITCHBOARD

22

LACP has reported that the internal trunking on the switchboard has failed. This feature is controlled by the “failsafe_action” field in the “system” class, accessible through the LTConfig module.

FEATURE_TMM_DETECTED

23

TMM has detected a failure condition. TMM recognizes some failure conditions faster than SOD, such as a blade’s going down. If detected, TMM puts itself in standby, then triggers this feature, so that SOD can more completely handle it.

FEATURE_TMM_READY

24

The primary TMM is ready for action. This is purely informational, as it does not trigger an action. Normally, setting the “action required” field is set to “yes” signals a failure, but here “yes” indicates that the primary TMM is okay, and “no” indicates not.

FEATURE_UNKNOWN

25

Unknown, illegal, or unsupported value

FEATURE_VLAN

26

The specified VLAN is not passing traffic. The VLAN is monitored for traffic and if idle for a length of time, probing will be done by sending ARP requests through the VLAN. The feature key is the name of the VLAN. This feature is controlled by the create, set_failsafe_state, set_failsafe_action, and set_failsafe_timeout methods in the Networking/VLAN interface.
